Just over a year ago, Sen. Chris Elliott (R-Josephine) held a public forum with the Department of Archives and History over an LGBTQ history lunch and learn program.
He was so angry about them hosting the show that he tried to extort $5 million from the department in retaliation for a special session on redistricting, but his colleagues were merciful and didn't go along with it.
He is now trying to remove the entire board and replace it with political appointments, but he would like you to believe that he is only doing so to correct flaws in the way the board operates.
Perhaps even worse, Elliott told Sen. Merica Coleman (D-Birmingham), “I'm playing my cards face up,” regarding a bill that would allow appointing authorities to fire library commissioners without cause. , Immediately after that, he told the following outright lie. This is about the mayors involved in the budget. ”
We all know that this is in response to the perception that library commissioners are not removing certain books from the children's section. It's been a new topic for months, but Elliot thinks you'll be fooled by his weak shaft.
How bad could it get?
For months, U.S. Rep. Susan Dubose has been crying about how proud the North Shelby Library District Board is and has been persistent about library issues at every turn.
Currently, her legislative delegation is introducing a bill that would strip power from the elected library board and place it in the hands of three MAGA Republicans, including Rep. Arnold Mooney (R-Indian Springs). ) characterize this bill?
“This is in response to concerns from constituents,” Moody told APR.
The trio of Mr. DuBose, Mr. Moody and Sen. Jim Cairns then argued that even though they had the opportunity to remove the council's board members, the bill would require other districts and boards elected by city and county groups to The government continued to send out loud statements that it would bring the two countries closer together. A proper election will be held in just three months.
This is clearly a desperate ploy to micromanage the Library Board and prevent it from potentially failing to take over if the people vote for it.
